DETROIT — The Great Lakes Water Authority says it will deny flooding claims following a massive rainstorm last year that led to millions of dollars of damages in Detroit and other parts of Wayne County.

DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit-area water utility said Tuesday that it will deny flooding claims stemming from a damaging storm last summer based on an independent review that found the flooding was caused by the amount of rainfall and not a defect in its wastewater collection and pumping system.
